What a day at work today. I class myself as a Retailer, so I find it very hard when I'm told to pull colleagues off the shop floor to help pick for Home Shopping. Home Shopping only takes 12% of our weekly takings, so in my own mind, I think we should be filling the shop floor. Never mind, I have a day off tomorrow and have no intention of going anywhere near work.

My card tonight is clean and simple with the theme of spring. I have used ProMarkers to make the background in the colours of yellow and green.

I started this card last night with the aim of getting it finish, that is until the phone went at 8 o'clock, two hours later and it was time for bed. So I have finished it tonight when I got in from work.

It has been made in the colours of black, white, pink and yellow. The digital stamp is a My Besties from Sherri Baldy and I have colour it using ProMarkers.

I didn't finish work until late yesterday, so I have only had time to make a quick clean and simple card last night in the colours of white black and red. I have followed a sketch from Freshly Made Sketches but unfortunately missed the deadline for their challenge.

The digital stamp is called Ruby Fabulous 40 from Bugaboo Digi Stamps and it has been coloured using ProMarkers.

It's been a funny day today, firstly I woke up at 6.30 this morning, on my day off, so this didn't help my mood. Then for the rest of the day, I didn't seem to know what to do with myself. Managed to do some painting for a couple of hours and landed up spending the rest of the day playing games on the computer.

I did however, make one card. This has been made in the colours of dark purple, lilac and bright pink. The digital image is called Hydrangea Fairy from Aurora Wings and I have coloured it using ProMarkers. I am disappointed with how the hair has turned out.

Today's card is something that I have never really tried before, the One Layer Card. I thought it was a good chance to dig out some of my old stamps. I'm not overly pleased with the results, but for a first try, I can live with it.

I have gone for a Christmas theme in the colours of blue and white with a touch of black.

Materials used are:

White card blank

A wooden block stamp from Creative Expressions which have had for a good few years

About Me

Hi, I am a 43 year old single parent to Tyler who is 16. I have lived in Sittingbourne, Kent all of my life.

Currently I work full time for my local Asda as a Section Leader, but in my share time I like to make cards.

I have been crafting on and off for many years, I remember my Grandmother teaching me to knit at a very early age. I have also had a phase of completing cross stitch kits, but currently my passion is for paper and cards.

In my early 20s I trained and worked as a graphic designer and I think this has help with my crafting.
